Get with the New Age please US Army. Use proper modern references not ancient racially divisive terminology. Haitian is a stupid use of the word too; Haitians can be actually many different races. This is a case of ignorance of people who should be smarter Americans at their job inexcusably trying to spread their stupidity to others under the pretext of 'it's ok to be stupid like me - because I'm paid to make it ok!"

The United States Census Bureau announced that "Negro" would be included on the 2010 United States Census, alongside "Black" and "African-American", because some older black Americans still self-identify with the term.[9][10][11]
My sister birth papers say negro, mines say negroid, this only seems to bother uptight people, I am proud to be a negro
